biggrin Re: Team Challenge problem....

Yes, it would be a job to get it all going at once. Also, the competition wouldnt be here at WCG. The venue would have to be like world wide all-round matches, independent of the projects.

And good to hear about alias team creation! I will set up the league team in a day or so. Shortly after, the lists for each class of play will start to build. At first, the best that can be done is to gadge the teams by points only in the first rounds. But as the rounds continue, more teams will be involved. I just wanted to know if I could add a team to and challenge that was already offered but not underway, because if I goof, I dont want people screaming at nelsoc because of it.

To prevent this, I will run "side by side" races a day or so apart if the need arizes, to catch the few teams that sneak through the cracks.

I will run a thread for pre-race coverage to explain much of this, so dont worry. Any problems I may create can be fixed before the next round of events.

Thanks biggrin

cool Re: Team Challenge problem....

I seem to be in a few races I shouldn't be:

2 Member Teams Only Challenge!

Teams of 3 or Less


and a past challenge:

Steal the cake (5 or less team)


Please remove me from these races. There had been so much gate crashing in limited team races, I didnt even look at the names anymore. But now this has ended and it would not be like me to spoil their fun.

Re: Team Challenge problem....

courine, there is no more removing any team from a race they 'shouldn't' be in.

I seen you were entered in and wondered why you joined those, but hey we all have unfocused eyes occasionally:) so just look closer next time tongue

Hugs!

Diana

Re: Team Challenge problem....

I think you can only back out before the start.

The challenges are turning out to be very popular; I think the WCG staff will do everything they can to add new challenge features when they can find some spare time.

Courine, we changed the policy just before the new year. We were receiving too many requests for changes to challenges, and had to make a decision to either honor the requests (which would have taken a lot of my time), or just have people live with the way they are.

We are still planning to add more functionality to the challenges so that captains will be able to withdraw from challenges before the challenges start. We are also considering adding the option for people creating challenges to allow late entrants. As with everything, I can't promise any sort of time frame for when it will get done, but it is on our to do list.

Re: Team Challenge problem....

courine, I don't understand what you are saying. I thought you were taking the results from all these WCG wide world of sports that we (us as in every team that entered all the races these past few months) were going to be put into your invitationals starting this month like in sub-heats and stuff.

So are you saying your copping out over the HCC debate? Did that stop any team from joining your challenges so far?

I miss having these challenges. I looked forward to them, so now your just giving up and leaving us hanging? What about your 'dummy' team creation to invite teams into heats?

We need you to complete what you started. So please courine, my friend, get up and get moving :) and get those cool challenges of yours on the board!

hugs

Diana G.

shock Re: Team Challenge problem....

Dear Diane,

I'm hardly copping out. The delay is to help allow the techs to have a good shot at fixing HCC before I make this all bigger than life.

The next best release date looks like feb 3. What I can do is run some spotlite expo's to help prevent loss of interest. I had debated doing this anyway, to slowly test the league concepts. This could help tune up parts and cut out others that dont work here. If I can take a minute from working out how to avoid the HCC issue for my team, I can work on who can be involved without generating a nightmare for WCG.

The last report reguarding HCC:
The techs are aware of this problem (and several others) but I won't start nagging them until after New Year's Day.

Lawrencehardin, Dec 20
